A day in the industrial part of the City

This morning we woke up earlier than the others days because our ferry-boat live for Rio de Janeiro downtown at 8.40 a.m.
After crossing the bay we decided to reach Sebrae by foot to have the chance of living the crowded streets of Rio.
Arrived to Sebrae they welcomed us very well.



Sebrae is a national brazilian company without any lucrative pourpose, that supports micro (up to 9 workers) and small(up to 19 employers) enterprises operating in the industrial and economic sectors.
Micro and small enterprises rappresent the 98.5% of brazilian market.
At the end of the conference they gave us many books about brazilian economy.
After that we had lunch in a very chic restaurant. Our afternoon is began with three km by foot, then we arrived to INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property),which
is a sort Ministry of Development,Industry and commerce. It grants and registers Patents, Industrial design, Software. They have a really severe security and a strict dress-code, especially for men, so we had just a little problems because our guys dressed with Bermuda shorts...!!!
The security blocked them at the entry of the building...



We need a lot of psychological work, but finally the guys could follow the lesson.



At 4.30 p.m. we finished our cultural day and some of us went to S. Teresa and the rest of the group came back to Niteroi with the ferry boat with only one target...: Shopping!!!
Our evening came to the end at the restaurant where we had a really large meal!!!
Roberto faced a surprise: our little gift for him!!!
He was a key figure for us, always present and helpfull in solving our problems: BIG THANK YOU ROBERTO, from all of us and have a nice trip back home!!!
That was our tuesday...
Good Night and Good Luck...
See you!
